The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
First of all i don't know who y'all saw
On this stage before me (Alright)
I don't know who y'all are gonna
See on this stage after me (True)
But this is real hip-hop word up
I'm gonna find out tonight
Where the real hip-hop
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
Blaow-blaow, blaow-blaow
Clear 'em out, clear 'em out word
Yo, Nelly
You ain't for real and you ain't universal
Your whole style sounds like
An N'Sync commercial
Ignoramus, I'm the baddest with
The mic apparatus
Challenging the God of rap is madness
I'll snatch your status
With this ugly look in the Billboard
You could stop them
But I got enough albums to
Make my own top ten
You limited, like the speed of traffic
You bite my style off the radio
So when you speak it back, i hear the static
You better Chillout like Chuck
I kick like three Norrises
One of my sixteen bar rhymes
Is eight of your choruses
Of course it is ridiculous
Watch out, I be in the club inconspicuous
Got ya on your hands and knees
Ain't it about time for some real emcees?
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
We on the hunt tonight
When you see me coming, I don't front
I fight people say I'm contradictory
'Cause I'm all about peace, to say the least
With a violent history it ain't no mystery
These rappers wanna get with me
My people don't see that all they
Hear is "Stop hittin' me!
Stop beatin' me, Kris!"
You want to help my career, Nelly? Well
You can help if you don't exist
I think it's 'bout time we
Stop these pop rappers
Fuck these pop rappers
Hip-hop does matter to me
Does it matter to you, my crew?
If it does, you know what the hell to do
Throw your guns in the air
Pump it like "yeah"
Let these bitch-ass rappers know we in here
Go to the shows, huh, boo 'em off stage
Tell 'em KRS told you they're at
The end of they days
Let me tell you, let's give hip-hop a lift
And don't buy Nelly's album on June 25th
That'll send a message back
To all them sellouts
House nigga rapper, your bottom done fell out
You don't even know how
I told you I wasn't talking about you then
But I'm talking about you now
Blaow, one to the knees, blaow
One goes right through
Even St louis don't like you
On this stage before me (Alright)
I don't know who y'all are gonna
See on this stage after me (True)
But this is real hip-hop word up
I'm gonna find out tonight
Where the real hip-hop
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
The real hip hop is over here
Blaow-blaow, blaow-blaow
Clear 'em out, clear 'em out word
Yo, Nelly
You ain't for real and you ain't universal

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
